Former Middlebury College kicker Steven Hauschka is going to remain with the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

According to NFL.com, Hauschka has agreed on a three-year, $9.15 million deal with Seattle, with $3.35 million in guaranteed money. He is now one of the top-10 highest-paid kickers in the NFL.

The 28-year-old kicker was 33 for 35 on field goal attempts last season, and connected on two field goals and five extra points in the Seahawks’ 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl last month. In his NFL career, Hauschka is 98 for 114 on field goal attempts, and 161 for 164 on extra point attempts.

Hauschka graduated from Middlebury in 2007. He is the the first former Vermont collegiate player to play for a Super Bowl champion — plus the first graduate.
